1898 Remington 6 Serial # 39616 1898 Remington 6 typewriter, Serial # 39616 Brian Decker's 1898 Remington 6 typewriter. 2026-07-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Decker: 1898 Remington 6 Serial # 39616 2026-JUL-04, Original Gallery Creation. No paper table, but otherwise a pretty nice specimen of a relatively early Remington 6 Upstrike. I thought it warranted a gallery, in part, because an image was provided of the serial number on the wooden U-bar underneath, and there is enough of a glimpse of the serial number in the standard place to corroborate that they are the same. eBay seller is "Group Flips", located in Rosedale, MD, asking $249.99 OBO.

Status: Typewriter Hunter
Points: 3303

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008.

In late 2024, I started up again, working on my machines and having some of them serviced professionally by New England Typewriter (NET) LLC (Merrimack, NH), until they closed their doors in December of 2025. Since mid-2025, I have been adding to my collection again, first with a Hermes 3000 purchase from NET, then with various auctions and purchases on eBay, when I find something that catches my eye.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 6 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 6 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
